WR DeVier Posey (2017 Grey Cup Champion and MVP)

SKULL SESSION: JEFF BROHM BELIEVES IN THE BUCKEYES, DRAFT STOCK STAYS STRONG FOR PROJECTED FIRST ROUNDERS AND DEVIER POSEY OWNS THE CFL

DEVIER POSEY, CFL HERO.
DeVier Posey was last year's Grey Cup MVP with seven catches for 175 yards and a touchdown, and it looks like he's still balling north of the border.

Posey had a hat trick of touchdowns in the third quarter against the Edmonton Eskimos (my local team – bet y'all didn't know I had Canadian blood in me) on Friday, racking up 113 yards on five catches and was named the league's top performer.





As much as I love seeing former Buckeyes blossom in the NFL, there's something fantastic about watching a dude like Posey just own the league like that.

Someone needs to tell our friends to the north hear Braxton Miller isn't on an active roster. I'd tune in every game.

BEYOND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: DEVIER POSEY IS MORE THAN AN MVP
Sharing is caring!

It’s not that often that you can talk with a Buckeye and CFL Champion on a Saturday morning. Here at The GM’s Perspective, we spent part of our day speaking with DeVier Posey. Posey, who recently signed with the Montreal Alouettes, is well known for his outstanding play on the field. More importantly, we discuss his distinguished contributions off the field and service within the community.

The GM’s Perspective: You’ve done some pretty amazing things throughout your career; A 2010 Rose Bowl victory where you led the way with eight receptions, 101 yards and the clinching touchdown. And of course 2017 Grey Cup MVP where you scored a 100 yard touchdown, the longest in Grey Cup history.

What stands out to you amongst everything you’ve done?

DeVier Posey: Ever since I was a freshman in high school I always wanted to show up and give my best on the big stage. I had a big track background and the thing about track and field that I love is how it conditioned me for football. That competitive atmosphere on that starting line prepared me for those big moments. When it was time to compete, I had so much confidence in my preparation and so much confidence in my ability to calm my mind and give my best. As I get older I hope I can teach my son how to understand and recognize those moments because they can be life changing and allows to me talk about those moments with people like you.

GMs: The CFL is really unmentioned when it comes to options after college (US). What has the Canadian game meant to you and your career to this point?

DP: It’s an opportunity for everybody regardless of nationality. They way I look at is, the best Canadians play in the NFL, the best Americans play in the NFL. The fact that the CFL is here and its thriving while showcasing guys that have long-tenured careers like Ricky Ray, John Chick, Mike Reilly, and Ted Laurent is great for both nationalities.

The CFL has embraced me with open arms and given me and my family an opportunity to play football. I couldn’t be more thankful. I always wanted to be the hardest working player on my team and contribute as a leader by my actions not my words. I’m thankful for whatever league lets me suit up. I’ve had the chance to play all over North America, what else could I ask for?

GMs: What is the main difference between the NFL and CFL?

DP: You’re playing different games. There’s tweeners in the NFL. You have guys who are small linebackers who might be too big to be a safety. You might have a small running back who may not be able to be an every down back, but not as big as a receiver. You have those positions that are perfect in the CFL.

I feel like some guys are made to play in the CFL, some are made to play in the NFL. The angles in the NFL are a lot smaller meaning the cuts have to be tighter and the windows close very quickly. Not saying that the quarterbacks are more or less accurate. Many would argue that, but I argue that it’s a different game. When you really look at the rules and regulations, it’s what makes the two leagues unique.
